General Information About Color General Information About Color What is hue? Everybody has an idea of what hue an object has, for example, an apple is red, a lemon is yellow, and the sky is blue. Hue is the tint by which the color of an object is classifi ed as red, yellow, blue, etc. What is brightness? What is saturation? Darker Lighter More vivid Duller Brightness is the degree of lightness in a color, as compared with another color, which makes it a light color or a dark color. For example, when comparing the yellow of a lemon and the yellow of a grapefruit, it is obvious that the yellow of the lemon is brighter. But what about when comparing the yellow of a lemon and the red of a bean? Obviously, the yellow of the lemon is brighter. Brightness is this degree of lightness that enables comparison regardless of the hue. What makes the difference between the yellow of a lemon and the yellow a pear? By saying that the lemon is a more vivid yellow and the pear is a duller yellow, the difference between the two colors is stated in terms of saturation, as opposed to brightness. As opposed to hue and brightness, saturation is the characteristic that indicates the degree of vividness. 4
Color Image Adjust Function Relationship between hue, brightness and saturation (color model) Hue, brightness and saturation are the elements that we call the three attributes of color. We can think of their affects using the solid object shown in fi gure 1, where the outer edge is the hue, the vertical axis is the brightness, and the horizontal axis from the center is the saturation. Assigning colors to the solid object, representing the three attributes of color, shown in fi gure 1 produces the color model shown in fi gure 2. Although the level of saturation differs for each hue and degree of brightness, creating a complex color model, we can get a better understanding of the conditions under which the hue, brightness and saturation vary.

Color Balance (CMYBK color adjustment) Color Balance By mixing the four toner colors (yellow, magenta, and cyan in addition to black) in a full-color copy, the colors of the document can be reproduced. Changing the amount of each color of toner enables the tints in the copy to be fi nely adjusted. Each color can be adjusted to a level within a range of 0% and 200% (in 1% increments). Adjusting the black tinge Increasing the amount of black 200% 100% Decreasing the amount of black 0% BK Black 10
